The Return of Daniel Boone (1941)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Lambert Hillyer
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(Encore)

Bill Elliott plays "Wild Bill" Boone, the grandson of Daniel Boone. However, any resemblance to the frontier hero ends there, as Wild Bill plays his usual macho cowboy character. He's in some dusty town rooting out a corrupt mayor and his henchmen. His fight scenes are sped up in an attempt to inject some life to the proceedings. Dub Taylor threatens to take over the picture as a dumb sidekick being pursued by a pair of hick twin girls. He also performs some terrible musical numbers. One of the more intolerable B westerns I've seen in some time.
